M. PASTRUR,S WORK.

The dispute over the results of NJ. Pas teur's work goes on in Europe with unabated yigor. Some of the most eminent physicians end scientific men in Europe have no faith in the efficacy of his inoculation to prevent hydrophobia. Among them are Professor Billroth and Professor von Frisch, of Vienna one of whom studied the process under the direction of N. Pasteur himself and after ward tested it by many experiments in Aus tria. But M. Pasteur is also not without his strong supporters, and, rather curiously, the strongest of these are found in England. Among them are the members of the royal commission appointed to investigate the matter. This commission is composed as follows: Sir James Paget, Dr. Lauder Brun- ton, Dr. George Fleming, Sir Joseph Lister, nr Richard Ouain, Sir Henry E. Roscoe and Horsley as secretary.
 The commission has made protracted and very thorough inquiry and it's report, which has been submitted to the House of Com mems, says that "M. Pasteur has discovered method of protection from rabies compara- ble with that which vaccination affords against infection from smallpox" and that ssit would be difficult to overestimate the importance of the discovery, whether for its practical utility or for it's application in general pathology" In the first three months of this year Pasteur inoculated 509 persons bitten by animals whose rabid condition had been proved either by inoculation from their spinal cords or by the deaths of some of those bitten by them or by reports from veterinary surgeons. But only two of these have died of hydrophobia, while under ordinary condi- tions the mortality would have been perhaps 20 per cent. 'fFrom the evidence of all these facts, :" says the commission, referring to the results of it's inquiries in Paris, five think it certain that the inoculations practiced by M Pasteur on persons bitten by rabid ani- malls have prevented the occurrence of hydro phobia in the large proportion of those who' if they had not been so inoculated, would have died of that disease"
 Pasteur has made two kinds of inocula- tions-the Ordinary" and intensive" The strength and the commission admits that after such inoculations deaths have occurred under conditions which suggested that they were due to the inoculations rather than to infection from the animals which had bitten the patients. It is not better to die of hydro phobia from inoculation than from bite, and the intensive treatment has been modi- fed.
 This report is not only encouraging to Pasteur. It encourages the whole civilized world to hope that at least there has been found protection against what is perhaps the most dreadful disease that affiicts the human

The Result of Swallowing a Fork

From the Lancet.l
 Dr. William Wilson reports the following interesting case:
 "Cipriani, to whom you referred in re- cent number, while initiating the exploits of juggler in swallowing a fork some sixteen years ago, allowed it to pass into his oesopha- gus beyond his control. After various att tempts at extraction made by himself, his
 friends and his wife, he was on the following
 day transferred to the Ospedale de Santa
 Maria Nuova, where also all efforts at remo-
 val were unavailing. Several ingenious in-
 struments were invented for the purpose, but

 weeks, suffering more or less inconveniAnna,

 were divided in opinion, some proclaiming
 him only fool, others an impostor. A year or so afterward, having produced severe pain, hemorrhage and other untoward symp- toms, it was ascertained that the fork had
 effected it's exit from the stomach and passed
 into the intestines, accompanied with re- lief to the more urgent phenomena; motion, however, occasioned severe suffering. He now wandered from place to place, subject of interest to some, of ridicule to others, till three or four weeks ago he was attacked by acute pleurisy of the right side, terminating in effusion, and was admitted into the Ospe- dale di San Giovanni di bio. Recovering from this, attention was again directed to

It was evidently fixed 1n this situ- ation, for palpitation effected no change in | it's position, and considerable enlargement could be detected in the immediate neighbor- l hood. After long hesitation he consented to | an operation, which was performed by the ! distinguished surgeon Professor Rosati, aid ! ed by his skillful assistant, Dr. Catani An | incision was made extending from an inch 1 and half below the umbilicus perpendieu- ! larly down to the pubes, and after considera- ] ble difficulty the fork was extracted from | the ascending colon, the blunt end pointing | upward. There had been constant infiam- | nation, as was proved by the great thicken- ' ing of the bowel, adjacent tissues and the | firm adhesion of the colon to the abdominal parietes. The bowel was opened, the edges 1 secured to the abdominal integuments and | the wound dressed in the usual way. The | fork measured twenty-two centimetres and presented but little erosion; for though the 1 plating had disappeared, the extremities re- | tained their original defined outlines. The 1 time could not be calculated which it had | taken in reaching it's ultimate destination, but probably many years, judging from the condition of the surrounding textures The patient bore the operation we'll, and was very anxious to secure possession of the fork as conclusive evidence against his detractors. There has been no fever or unfavorabIe symp- tom and the wound is nearly healed, there remaining only a small fstulous opening communicating with the intestine"

It admits that not only is the treasury well managed, but that the circulating me dium is on more conservative and safer basis than that of the Bank of England, 'sso that it must be admitted that the converti- bility of the paper is placed beyond all ques- tion." The Economist looks upon the em- barrassment caused by the increasing surplus revenue as the only source of danger in the national finances and says that ffthe ability with which it's affairs have been managed in emerge from its unique difficulties with credit"
 The other day, says Boston correspond ent of the Minneapolis Tribune, country man from Cape Cod sought out the office of Zion's Herald, which is near the top of a large building in Broomfeld street, one of the upper small rooms, whose location is not readily learned from the street signs. He was looking for "Mr. Zion" He had been a reader of the paper for years without part ing with the fallacy that Zion was the name of the editor. On this occasion he wanted to argue 8 denominational point that the lat est issue of the paper had declared Some iokers encouraged him and his delusion and warned him that Zion might deny his iden- tity, as he didn't like to be disturbed at his work. Mr. Pierce, the reverend editor, did deny that he was Mir. Zion when the coun- tryman at last found him, and when the lat ter persisted and refused to be denied the gentle editor opened the sanetum door and assisted the caller out with almost the tradi- tional force that was common in old time journalism.
 Africa is still mysterious country in spite of all that Stanley and others have done to know it and make it known.

Loves and Meetings.

 Here are several curious specimens of class of advertisements quite common in Chinese newspapers:
 A husband whose wife has eloped from him inserts an advertisement, in which he details at considerable length the circum- stances under which he married the lady and the story of her elopement. He married her in July, 1878, and he goes on to say:

 ''Periander's" enthusiasm for the Fourth of July carried him into some harsh and what will seem to many very unjust criti- cism of the English people. As our readers we'll know, the JOURNAL AND COURIER all lows its correspondents to express their minds freely, but, as is perhaps needless to say. it does not approve all their sentiments. It is sometimes possible to choose between evils. Thus an eccentric Illinois farmer, who lost $1, 800 by burglars the other night, took the remaining 1000 in coin which he had hoarded and stored away in the house to the bank for deposit He said in explanation: ''Pd rather help pay some bank officers ex- penses to Canada than to sacrifice my whole pile upon men of no responsibility" The New Milford Gazette makes a power ful attack, over column long, upon what has not hitherto been supposed to be great evil. It declares that the delivery by mer- chants of goods at customers houses is too much. It finds that the delivery system for New Milford costs $23, 475 year, or twice what it should. "Fewer teams and fewer delivered goods are what the merchants should come to-"
